We've got a number of young outfielders.

including Carson Bench, who we think are going to contribute at the major league level over the course of next year.

As I mentioned, we think Jeff is a contributor at the major league level in the outfield next year.

Jet Williams has seen some outfield time and we believe can play well there.

And we've seen that in the minor leagues.

And then there is the opportunity for external acquisitions.

And we've got a lot of offseason left.

I would expect us to continue to be active in a variety of spaces to bring players in here.

And I think we'll have a better feel for what all of that looks like as we get much farther into the winter and ultimately into the spring.

I think it's all part of our decision points and our evaluation of the team.

Very difficult to create an equation for how you balance on-field performance and clubhouse chemistry and clubhouse leadership and how different pieces within that puzzle are all going to fit together.

uh very difficult to measure any of that uh and so you know brandon clearly was a very important piece the prominent piece of our clubhouse for a long time um and we think marcus is going to be able to fit in very well also moving with mike fitzpatrick from the ap

As I've said before, we'd love to have Pete and Edwin back.

They're both great Mets.

I'm not going to get into any specifics of any conversations that we've had at this point.

Anthony?

I think our ownership group and Steve is very consistent that they're willing to support what we think is right from a baseball perspective.

You know, payroll space is not unending, but I am also very confident that we're going to have the support we need and certainly the resources we need to put a very good team on the field.

Sure.
